The Perfect Trace of the Eternal Love, Ghilasangsa Buddhist Temple 1

Yesterday I posted on the eternal but saddest love between a genius poet and beautiful-intellectual Ghisaeng Kim Hanyoung.

After seperation, Kim Hanyoung starede to run hig-quality traditional restaurant. The restaurant what she had run was a very special for it’s quality. The important political and diplomatic meetings had been held often in that kinds of restaurant. Her restaurant was very successful. With running the restaurant, she had studied the english literature in the University. Later she published the essays including academic subjects.

She was deeply touched in Buddhism in her old age. It could’ve affected her hope to complete her karma with the Poet Baek Seok at next life.

My cousin guided me to the Temple, Ghilsangsa which was located in Seongbookdong of very rich area.
It was first time for me to visit the Ghilangsa Temple, even thouhg I had wanted to visit for long time.

The portal was very colourful.

In the left of the portal, the Jijangjeon was located in. The Jijangjeon is usually dealing with the next world.

Walking along the road, I could the bell tower.

Next to the bell tower, there was a main building of this temple.

The front view of the main building.

Here I noticed a strange thing in this temple. The colour was not painted in this temple. The coloured building is a symbol of the Buddhist Temple.
But nothing was painted in this temple.

I was very curious the reason why. But there I couldn’t find someone to ask for.
I made up my mind to leave my question not to be solved to make a reason for visiting temple once again.

One more question was raised to me on the name of main building. Usually the main building of the Buddhist temple was almost fixed as a Dae Woong Jeon”. I had posted on that several times before.
But the name of this main building was a “Geuk Rak Jeon” which has the meaning of the paradise.

Inside of the Geuk Rak Jeon was as same as other temples

There was a gate to somewhere special place.

There was a shrine for Kim Hanyoung cross the road.(continued)

right

Rinai rain wet me
Accompany the quiet settling
When I remember you
And all that sweet moment
Everything is like a dream
I live my own life
If time changes
I still will not change
I always happy
when it rains
Because I can remember you
For myself ooohhh ..ooo
There is always a story
Stored in my heart
About you and the rain
About our love
That flows like water
I always happy
when it rains
Because I can remember you
For myself ooohhh ..ooo
I can smile all day
Because the rain once held you here
For me ooohhh ...

Thank you so much

Excellent comment, I really like your work. I think it is very objective in the analysis and in what you want to convey. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Thank you

It is a great travel story. I think there should be some people who take care of this temple. you should have ask them.

Thank you, I will ask when I visit next time

Great job, my friend @slowwalker! Thank you for sharing!

Oh, you are welcome.

I love your stories so much I look forward to them I like this continuation, o also love your pictures thank you again for sharing your culture🌻

I am glad you like it

Once you visit you can't forget. Amazing place.

Exactly

It is unlikely we will ever find the meaning of eternal love As the essence means..
In fact if we ask a poet this will not we get a true answer except only admiration implied from the face of the poet.
Only a person who feels eternal love in himself who will understand, but he will never be able to explain to anyone with all the oral and beautiful sentences of the poet though.

Indeed we have felt a deep love in the heart, there is a feeling that we do not understand the shape and we never know to explain it to anyone.
So continuously about the meaning of love is not intermittent for anyone trying to give meaning to it.
So this life ends and the world, the sky of all beauty will crumble to collapse into dust, love remains a mystery..?

Nice interpretation, thank you.

Thank you fery much for your replay comenting

Another lovely post, @slowwalker, continuing the saga of Kim Hanyoung and the Poet, Baek Seok.

I found it interesting that the part of the temple dealing with the afterlife, The Jijangjeon, was named Paradise and that right across the road from this temple was a shrine for Kim Hanyoung.

I agree with you that she probably hoped to be re-united with Baek Seok in Paradise.

I also thought it interesting that this lovely Geisha became a specialist in English Literature and wrote many academic papers. It seems she devoted her life to Baek Seok, even pursuing his interests.

The photos were lovely, @slowwlker, and you managed to capture the air of mystery surrounding this pair of star-crossed lovers.

A beautiful post, my friend.

Thank you as always

I always enjoy reading about your walking adventures

My mind feels peaceful and calmed. Love to visit someday.

I will wait for your visit

The circumstances are not always running well. There are times when our lives are faced with a life that requires to fight even harder. The world continues to run, there is a time on top and there is a time under.So also with a young artist aged 27 years Has long divorced with her husband to be required to care for the three of her own heart.

Www.kaskus.com
Reported by vivanews.com 18/08/2017 Sheila Marcia lately the story of her life is all-perish.Sheila burdened with her as a mother and father for the three pieces of his heart. He mentioned that his life is now again lack of material, need a lot of income. That's because he has to pay the children's school fees are not small each month, coupled with daily expenses.

Sheila also mentions herself as her spirits looking for the survival of her three children, assistant and also her brother. Although for her first child, Leticia is assisted by Anji, but Sheila is still lacking. She is now active again in the entertainment world.

In addition to the entertainment world, Sheila is also willing to do business because the world of entertainment will not always be friendly with him.

Stay healthy yes kak Sheila, life keeps turning

Where I also have home cut meakia, a heroine from aceh, but unfortunately our place is not maintained.

I haven't known the love story between Baek Seok and Kim hanyoung before. It's very interesting. After reading your posting about their love story, I feel such a deep feeling of saddness from the each temple building.

Yes, sad love story always makes people shed tears

So interesting.

what a wonderful excursion. The photos are so pleasing and fill me with a since of calm - and also a wish to explore this place myself. Maybe the one temple was not decorated inside for meditative reasons.
I really enjoy following your blog Have a beautiful day!

Great Place! I can definitely feel the tranquility of this place from the photos.

Is there any evidence of Baek Seok shown in the temple? Maybe building a temple is the best try to materialize an eternal love.
